DIsCARDING long established
precedent President Cleveland S
message this year deals with only
two subjects, viz, the tariff and the
surplus. 1t not supposed that it
will meet the views of those old
fogies who think message should
start out with the assertion that we
"are at peace with the world" and
then follow with monotonous re-
ports of our doings with Hayti, Ar
gentine Republic, Chill, Belgium,
and other countries which the "vig-
orous foreign policy" of his prede-
cessors always brought forth, but
still it is refreshing to citizens who
have the welfare of the country at
heart to see the chief executive of
the nation for once devote his en-
tire attention to the needs and well
fare of the people. The message
is short and to the point and may
be summed up thus: A system
of taxation which has accumulated
and tied up $250,0OO,O0O already
and is adding thereto at the rate of
s55, 100000 year is pernicious in
it's practices and disaster will be
its certain result; that the contin-
uance of such system will be in
effect the supporting of the few at
the expense of the many; that
money thus diverted should imme-
lately be restored to the circulat-
ng medium and the way to restore
t is to reduce the tariff taxes.

A coNpARIsoY of The official figures on |

A COMPARISON of the official figures on
Ohio's votes of 1885 and ISL are interest
ing, and shows that FORAEER's popularity
Is ON the wane. In 1885, ont of u total
vote of 73l, 9lO, FORAKER got $50, 2Sl, or
70, 64S less than the majority Of all the
votes cast. In 1887, out OF total vote Of
744, 6I3, an increase over 1885 of 13,403,
FORAKER got $50, 9S7, or 30, 7S9 less than
the msiority of the total vote, and was Is
O9l further of from having a majority
than he WAS in 1895. Although Is, 403
more people voted this year than voted two
years ago, FORAKER's vote this year is
2,Si4 less than it was two years ago. His
increased plurality is due to the great in
crease of the Labor vote in 1887 over the
Greenhack vote of 1885, which increase
was 22,TlI, coming principally from the
Democrats, while the Prohibition vote in
creased only 1919 over the preceding cleo
ton. Had the Labor vote increased no
more than the Prohibition vote FORAEER's
plurality would probably have been less
than !. 200, certainly il would not have gone
much above those figures. The Labor vote
was the unknown factor that knocked out
the calculations of the Democrats, and to
whi,h alone FORAKER owes the fact that
it was not CLOSE shave" for him.
Verify, FORAKER can give thanks to-day
that it vas no worse

in every department Of the government
from corruption and extravaganee to hon
esty and economy. 1t has seen more than
100, 900, 900 acres OF unearned land grants
restored to the public domain for the beue-
fit of the poor settlers; 500, 600, 900 Of the
public debt paid; the expenses of the gov
eminent reduced about SIS, 600, 600; Indian
rings, land rings, and leadership rings that
fouTished broken mp; business methods
and strict economy for jobbery and waste
full extravaganee established; the lie given
20 the charge that the Democracy, if in
trusted with power, would 'put the ne
groes back into slavery and pension the
Confederate soldiers; more done in two and
one-half years to curb the rapacity of cor
pOrations than was done in quarter Of
century before; the odious and unjust ten
ure-Of-office act repealed; and innumerable
Just and wise acts passed. 1t has seen the
civil service placed upon sound basis
and made no. longer the refuge of political
hacks; a general awakening of business
enterprise and the return of prosperity
after protraeted absence. 1t has seen the
people come TO believe that government is
possible in Washington without corruption
and that every department is conducted
with marked ability and integrity. Verify,
not only the Democratic party but the
whole people have much for which to
offer up thanks to COP this day.
Therefore, when the people assemble in
the various churches to-day to give thanks
to the Benefcient Giyer of all things, they
will not forget to utter an expression of
gratitude for the blessings of honest, capa-
hle government. The old regime of cor
ruption is gone forever and the new era of
a government of the people, for the people
and by the people becomes brighter and
brighter every day.

WHY WE GIVE THANKS.


On another page will be found cards to
the REGISTER from officials, ministers and
prominent men all over the State telling
why they offer up thanks to Con to-day.
The REGISTER would like to say word
on this theme
No people in the world to-day have so
good cause to give thanks as the Ameri-
cans. No nation is so rich, so prosperous,
so industrious, anil 70 noble as the Ameri-
can nation.
A fortnight after 1t has fought its an
nual battle at the polls, after the smoke
has rolled away and the dead and wounded
disposed of, it suspends all secular work
and employment aud the various churches
are thronged with worshippers, giving
thanks to COP for the manifold
blessings received from His hands. There
re excellent reasons why the country
Aoald be especially thankful at this sea-
son. Another year of good government at
Washington has justified the confidence OF
the people in Democratic control of affairs
and has drawn closer the ties which bind
them to the party that alone represents
them and bears their name, The country
is prosperous to degree, such as it has
not enjoyed in many years and the last
trace of sectional strife has disappeared eN-
cept in the minds of q few lunaties and
non-representatiye men who make bust
ness of keeping it mp.
When President CLEVELAND penned his
Thanksgiving proclamation This year, he
must have experienced the feelings
which are embodied in it, He
had Just come from among
the people. Everywhere they had mani
tested their heartinsss, kindness snd good
will, and the welcome which he received
from the humbleSt citizens, in the short
stops by the Sayside, were more sincere
and touching than even the most magnih-
cent demonstrations made in the great
cities Of the West.
1t was a genuine tribute everywhere,
not only Of respect to the high office repre-
sented, but towards the man himself as
one who bad striven to the best of his
ability to do his duty fairly and honestly
and whose record il as spOtless as the
fair fame of his good and beautiful young
wife. 1t is a feeling of thankfulness
that the nation must experience
when both the President and the
people have had such opportunities to get
thus close 10 each other and become better
acquainted.

OLE NArIRALGAS.

The Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette calls
attention to the enormous waste of natur-
al gas that Is going On at the wells and in
the streets OF the city, and very pertinent
d. ~ says: "rhe s1ggestiOn that il may
fail in the near future is not pleasant
one and is usually treated with ridicule,
or as something not to be seriously dis
eussed. There are reasons for the belief
that it will he years, or even decades, be-
fore the supply will become exhausted;
but while this IL true, it is certain that,
sooner or later, there will be an end to the
present suDerlbundancs OF gas, and great
er difficulty ant increased expense in sup
plying the demand"
There is golden truth and warning that
deserves serious heed in this. 1t is true
that here in Wheeling thus far our manu-
facturers have suffered only from the lack
of capacity to get sufficient gas into the
city, but may not the time come when,
with increasing manufactures and con-
sequently increasing demand for the fuel,
fuel will become scarce? 1t is at least rea-
sonabls to suppose 50. Wells frequently
fail, and the wells that supply Wheeling
may he the next to give out. In view OF
this would it not be wise provision for
the future for Wheeling manufacturers to
combine and buy more gas territory? The
suggestion is not entirely new to our
manufacturers, rs the question
was brought mp among them
the other day, bat the subject is Of
vital importance should receive careful
attention, and the sooner active steps are
taken toward enlarging the gas territory
whence Wheeling draws her supply, the
better The return of Wheeling to the use
of coal, while it would be q great benefit
to miners and mine owners, is hard to con-
template. Owing to the competition with
other cities using natural gas it would he a

Lion Hunting in the T'ransvaa1.

A correspondent of Forest and
Stream writes: "The lions were warm
ing; nearly every day the boys would
see two, three or four. only saw one
and killed him. He has a good skin
and a splendid name; a very old fellow
and fat as a pig. He got our wind and
was trotting off, so we trotted after
him, knowing that he would stand,
look back and give us a good shot.
They go very leisurely. He stood at
about n hundred yards, and my little
boy with my Martin fired close to my

trigger of the Express, and I missed
him. OF course the boy also missed.
however, we ran ON again and he soon
gave us another chance. and I brought
him down, You can tell at once when
they are wounded; they 60 no further,
but stand and roar continuously. and
you have a good shot next time. I ran
in to about seventy yards, and put an
Express hollow bullet into his ribs,
when he fell over. Then I went close
up and put. a bullet through his head.
"Another day l had three young boys

giraffe too long and lost our where

mined to find the camp, and we walked
for three hours after shutdown. just by

walk and a sleep out.
''Ihe boys would 90 no further. They
made half a dozen big fires and we slept

A PugnaciOus O

"A young man in the neighborhood
of Malvern, Ark, a few mornings since,
put his little brother upon his horse
and sent him to the branch near the
stable to water. Soon the boy came
back running the horse, and said that
a coon came down the bank of the
branch while the horse was drinking,
and jumped upon the log beside him
and bit and scratched the horse so that
it nearly threw him off in trying to get
out of the branch and up the bank.
The young man looked at the horse and
found the blood trickling from several
rakes and scratches on one of its fore
legs. He and the little boy went to the
branch, taking a large dog with them.
The dog followed the track of the coon
and Don came up with it and gave bat
tie, and after a few moments succeeded
in killing it. But after the coon was
dead the dog could not get rid of it, the
coon having seized him by the under
lip and would not let 60 even after life
was extinct. The young man tried to
get the coon's jaws open, but could not,
so he cnt the head off and the dog went
to the house with the coon's head hang

the young man tried again to PRIV the

. Newspaper Mans Advice.

Leander Richardson relates how O.
bit of well-directed advice inspired
confidence in his excellent Judgment.
A young lady friend came to him to
consult in regard to the question
which sooner or later agitates all the
sex: She said ''There is an old gentle
man who is We y much in love with
me-. He has a great deal of money,
and he would make me his wife to-
morrow. He is a man of cultivation
md refinement, his home is almost q
palace. There is another man who
is much younger than this one l have
mentioned, and he, too, loves me.
He is not wealthy, but he has some
thing of a business position, and his
prospects are very good" "Naturally
you prefer the younger man." I inter-
jected. NATURALLY. At the same
time the circumstances of my family
are not what they should be, al
though we live comfortably enough.
The question that troubles me most
is as to whether it is not my duty to
marry for the advantage of my par
ents. who have taken good care of

afford to make some sacrifice" I am
rather afraid that the advice l gave
the young lady was somewhat unro-
mantle and cynical. 1t was to the ef-
feet that she had better become the
old mans darling, mainly for the rea-
son that he would probably die in the
course of a few years, in which case
she would, by reason of her fortune
thus acquired, become all the more
charming in the eyes of the more
youthful, but financially the less sol
id, lover. The young lady said she
was much obliged, and went away.
l didn't see her again until to-day,
when she once more came into the Of
flee and sat down at the end of my
desk. II shall have more confidence
in your advice hereafter" she said
with a demure exp ression of counte'
nance that WAS somewhat amusing
"Why?"I asked. "Have you conclu'
ded to marry the old millionaire?'
